Cantique de Noel 
Mi-nuit Chre-tiens c'est l'heu-re so-len-nel-le

Pour ef-fa-cer la tache o-ri-gi-nel-le 
Et de son pere ar-re-ter le cour-roux 

Le monde en-tier tres sail-le d'es-pe-ran-ce 
A Cet-te nuit qui lui donne un sau-veur 
Peu- plea ge-noux at-tends ta de-li-vran-ce 
NO-EL NO-EL Voi-  ci le re- demp-teur 
NO-EL NO-EL Voi-ci le-le re-demp-teur.

English Translation:
Midnight, Christians, its the solemn hour
When God-man descended to us
To erase the stain of original sin
And to end the wrath of his Father

The entire world thrills with hope
On this night that gives it a Saviour
People kneel down, wait for your deliverance
Christmas, Christmas, here is the Redeemer
Christmas, Christmas, here is the Redeemer.

Instrumental arrangement of a song by Claudin de Sermisy, with variations.

Lyrics of the original song with tentative English translation below:

Les dames se sont tailladées  
Chacune d'un Toulouzan 
Par compra, ha, ha 
L'eyse Sabaton de Cordouen 
Lo scafignolet, hari bouriquet... 
L'on sonne une cloche dix ou douze coups; 
Le peuple s'approche, se met a genoux, 
Le prestre se vest 
hari, hari l'asne, hari bouriquet 
[chorus] 
Du pain sur la nappe, un calice d'or 
Il met prend sa chappe, dit Confiteor 
Le peuple se taist 
Si tost qu'il acheve, le peuple ecoustant 
Sa Parole s'eleve et respond autant en plus haut caquet 
[chorus] 

Here is my tentative English translation: 

The ladies have adorned themselves with dresses à la Toulouse 
To appear at Sunday mass in Place Cordouen 
Nicely turned out indeed 
Hee-haw little donkey! 

The bell is rung ten or twelve times 
The congregation approaches and kneels, 
The priest dons his vestments 
Hee-haw little donkey! 
[chorus] 
Bread on the cloth, a golden chalice 
He places it and dons his cope and says Confiteor 
The congregation is silent 
[chorus] 
As soon as he's done, the congregation, listening to his word, 
rise up and respond 
Hee-haw at the tops of their voices... [chorus].

Il volo dell’albatros (oltre ogni limite)

Vento che va ,Portami al margine della città

E piano volerò ,In libertà

Come un albatros , Via da qua

Da solo oltre ogni limite, ferita dentro l’anima

Inchiodami al mio ruolo e poi di nuovo fuggirò

Non puoi ancora nascondermi

Non riesco ormai più a fingere

Non posso ancora chiedermi se fosse tutto qua?

Costringimi a planare qui

Guardando questa umanità

Inchiodami alla realtà e piano morirò

Con l’apertura d’ali mia, la più maestosa che ci sia

Le navi accompagnerò ,la brezza io respirerò

Per non scordare mai le origini del mare

In volo come un albatros non mi potrai fermare

Mi sento irraggiungibile, volando tra le nuvole

Così inavvicinabile persino dai miei simili

Ma spiegami perché mi spingo oltre ogni limite

Sfruttando la corrente ,seguendo l’orizzonte

 

Ricordi l’altalena non volava così in alto

La giostra che girava mi inchiodava a quel tuo sguardo

E come un albatros ferito che non può più volare

Inseguo quel cielo infinito ma non mi può bastare

Mia madre mi diceva

non ti abbiamo mai voluta, sei stata un incidente, una cura mal riuscita

e come un albatros ferito che annaspa nel dolore

alla ricerca di quel nido e di un po’ di calore

 

Raggiungerò quell’orizzonte e poi scomparirò

come questo tempo mio che se ne va ,polvere e cenere poi resterà

ma ora sono un albatros, fendendo l’aria intorno a me

oltre qualsiasi limite io mi ritroverò

creatura invulnerabile

tutti in all’erta i sensi miei

non potrai più sorprendermi, eterno è il volo mio

più non maledirò il volo mio pindarico

mi annullo e poi risorgo , come fenice al nuovo giorno

Precipito nel baratro

di questa solitudine

che strano girotondo

all’inferno e poi ritorno

abbasserò le ali e poi il capo io reclinerò

e fiero come nacqui io nel nulla sparirò…….

La morte che ti culla come l’onda fa col mare

Ricordati, ti prego, il segreto per planare

E come un albatros ferito, solo col suo dolore

Oltre ogni limite e confine ritornerò a volare…. Monica Bergo

Op. 71. Composed by Jacques Offenbach. Edited by Beverley Ellis and Rainer Mohrs. This edition: Sheet music. (c) 2020 Schott Music GmbH & Co. KG, Mainz. Classical. Downloadable. Op. 71. 15 pages. Schott Music - Digital #Q53291. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q53291).

English • German.

Jacques Offenbach, son of a Jewish cantor, was born in Cologne on 20.6.1819; he died in Paris on 5.10.1880. In 1833 his father took his fourteen-year-old son to the Paris Conservatoire, where the director Luigi Cherubini was impressed by his cello playing and accepted him as a student, even though foreign candidates were not normally admitted there. Offenbach then changed his first name ‘Jacob’ to ‘Jacques’. From 1835 he worked as a cellist at the Paris Opéra comique, making ends meet by teaching and performing. From 1850 to 1855 he was Director of Music at the Théâtre Français. He then found his own theatre to rent in Paris and put on highly successful productions of his operetta Orpheus in the Underworld (1858) and other stage works. During his lifetime he had twenty cello compositions published by Schott, among them the tutorial method Cours Méthodique de Duos pour deux Violoncelles op. 49 and various operatic arrangements for cello and piano based on themes by Bellini, Donizetti, Mozart and others - including this Fantaisie facile sur l’Opéra de Rossini: Le Barbier de Seville op. 71 in 1856 (plate no. 11461).

Claude Debussy: Arabesque 1. Duration: ca. 3:30. Debussy's Arabesques are considered to be one of the earliest expressions of French impressionism. They are a suite of two piano pieces that contain hints of Debussy's developing musical style. Although they did not receive much attention when they were first published, they are now regarded as early impressionist standards. Debussy seems to wander through modes and keys, achieving evocative scenes throughout both pieces. The Arabesques are important in the history of music as they represent a significant development in the impressionist movement.

Claude Debussy was a French composer born in 1862 who developed a highly original system of harmony and musical structure that expressed the ideals of the Impressionist and Symbolist painters and writers of his time. He is considered one of the most important and influential composers of the 20th century. Debussy's compositions, including his orchestral poems and piano music, helped establish the musical language for much of the twentieth century. Critics often credited Debussy with pioneering a genre called impressionism, although Debussy consistently rejected the term. Debussy's best-known musical arabesque is his Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune (1894).
